Hello world.

Yes, I'm an old C programmer.

First post on nostr.

Looking for folks to follow. Going to try the Mastodon method of an intro post, see who responds, and go from there.

Talk to me about:

Programming, sci-fi, books, coffee, Infosec, cats, gen-X, cartoons, kindness, meditation, food, ttrpgs, computers, games, puns.

If you need labels, I'm a:

Cis-het, white male geek, he/him, flaming liberal who wants a better world for my child, pro-trans rights, and black lives matter.

Say hi and let's see if this nostr thing works.

Thanks.

Welcome to nostr!

hiii are you coming from mastodon?

Yup. Checking this platform out

random fun fact:

1. nostr is a protocol, and you can interact it with multiple clients ( i am using nostrmo on android)

2. it is censorship resistant, as it uses redundant relay setup (unlike mastodon which rely on singular instances).

3. it is a technical web5.0, with in protocol payment support via lightning network.

4. you can always interact with your friends on mastodon (just add wss://mostr.pub) into your relay list.

set up your lightning payment network and i will zap you some bitcoin! plus if you need help, just ask away!

i am more than happy to help you get you nip-05 id , first lightning wallet setup, relay setup, et cetera

What do you need for a relay setup? I just recently joined & wonder if you can explain the nip-05 & help me get one?

sure. i will move to direct message to help you further. no scam. no fees. just a guy on nostr trying to help

Welcome! 🫂

Couple of things:

First, it looks like you posted your welcome message in your bio. You probably didn’t mean to do that, so you might want to fix that in your profile.

Second, while you’re editing your profile, it helps to get the full #nostr experience by adding a Lightning Address to allow others to #zap you small amounts of bitcoin denominated in satoshis.

The fastest way to get up and running is to download nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq from the App Store. Then grab the address you get in the Receive page and stick it in your bio. That’s it, you’re all set.

Later, we can show you how to add more relays to get a better overall feed.

Have fun, happy posting, and remember there’s no actual “delete” here! 😅

yeah, no delete buttons!

If you see one, it’s a lie! 🤣

actually if you have telegram, u can instantly set one via https://t.me/LightningTipBot

Yep, LightningTipBot is great. I’ve used it for a long time.

However, as most people here will remind you, a custodial wallet shouldn’t be trusted for anything substantial. You need them for zapping, but you should look into other wallets that let you hold your own keys (self-custody). The beauty of the Lightning Network is that it’s fast and inexpensive to use, so sending your balances from a custodial wallet to your own self-custodial wallet is very easy.

Welcome!

Welcome to Nostr! Ping me if you need anything. ⚡🔥🙏🏼

Thanks for the welcome.

Is there an #android client that supports keyword mute lists?

That's the only thing I'm really missing so far.
